Box-office: Akshay Kumar's ‘Jolly LLB 2’ earns 13 crore on day one

Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Jolly LLB 2’ hits the screens on
Friday and the film is off to a great start. The film received rave reviews
from the film critics and also received applause from the audience. The film
collected Rs 13.20 crore on the opening day.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about the first day
collection of the film.

He tweeted: "Merits
coupled with positive word of mouth should help garner a lucrative total on
Saturday and Sunday."

‘Jolly LLB 2’, which is a sequel to Arshad Warsi's 2013 film ‘Jolly LLB’ is
funny and thought-provoking. Akshay
Kumar plays the role of an advocate Jagdishwar Mishra. The courtroom
drama features Annu Kapoor as an advocate and Jolly's professional rival and
Saurabh Shukla is seen in the role of Justice Sunderlal Tripathi. Huma
Qureshi plays the role of Jolly's wife Pushpa Pandey.

‘Jolly LLB 2’ tells the
story of an amateur lawyer who hopes to make a big name in the field of
criminal law. Instead he landed in a big trouble.

“A
lot of credit for my performance in Jolly LLB 2 goes to Akshay as he was my
co-actor as well as Annu Kapoor. If you like my performance in the film, it is
due to these two actors. Akshay is a bigger star in terms of trade value.
That’s completely a different area. But apart from being a star, he is a
wonderful actor. That is his prime job. Akshay Kumar has time and again proved
himself as an actor,” said actor Saurabh Sulha in an interview with
indianexpress.com.

Positive words of mouth will surely drag audience to the theatres. The film is expected to see a growth on Saturday and
Sunday.
